Generally, jury service is for no longer than one day (usually just a couple of hours).

Jury service is an obligation of citizenship which is essential to the judicial process. It is an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to ensure that justice is provided in our community. The judge of the Krum Municipal Court recognizes that jury service entails an imposition on the citizens called for that service. In order to minimize the burden caused by your jury service, report promptly at the date and time indicated and dress appropriately.

Please note: failure to appear for jury service may result in a $100 fine for contempt of court.

Because court cases are sometimes disposed of at the last minute, please call the Court at 940-482-3491 ext. 3 before your appearance time.

Payment plans are available in some instances. The State requires the Court charge an additional $25 if the payment plan exceeds the 30 day limit. This is a one time fee per violation.

A minimum payment of $50 can be made to the Municipal Court once the plea has been entered with the Judge; however, you must still stay within the guidelines established by all Payment Plan Agreements. If you do not plead on all charges shown on the citation by the appearance date, you may expect an arrest warrant to be issued and warrant fees will be added to the amount due. Pay Online

If a judge tries the case, the judge's decision is called a judgment. If a jury tries the case, the jury's decision is called a verdict. In determining a defendant's guilt or innocence, the judge or jury can consider only the testimony of witnesses and any evidence properly admitted during the trial. If you are found guilty by either judge or jury, the penalty will be announced at that time you should be prepared to pay the fine and court costs at this time.

If you need a continuance for your court date, you must make the request or "Motion" in writing, state your reasons for the continuance, and submit your motion to the court prior to your court date. The court allows one continuance only and that must be made in person to the court. The judge will make a decision whether or not to grant the motion. You may request a continuance for the following reasons: - A religious holy day where the tenets of your religious organization prohibit members from participating in secular activities such as court proceedings (you must file an affidavit with the court stating this information) - A witness is unable to testify in your case, after you have exercised due diligence to secure the witness' presence at trial - You feel it is necessary in order to receive a fair trial - Good cause - Any other reason provided by law

The Municipal Court has jurisdiction over juveniles (16 year old or younger) charged with most Class C misdemeanor offenses. All juveniles are required to appear in open court for all proceedings in their cases and the parent of the juvenile defendant is required to be present in court with his or her child. Failure of a parent or legal guardian to appear with a juvenile constitutes a separate misdemeanor offense by the parent, and juveniles who fail to appear in court may have an additional charge of failure to appear filed against them. Juveniles who fail to appear or who fail to pay their fine(s) will be reported to the Department of Public Safety, who will suspend their drivers' license. If they do not have a driver's license, they will not be able to obtain one until they appear in court. Do not mail plea or payment to the court.

You can either come to the police department and get a form to fill out, or download and print a copy, fill it out and either bring it to the police department, mail it to the police department, or you can fax it to the police department. Report Request Application (PDF)

Sanitation service is on Wednesday of each week. Please have your bagged items out by 7 a.m. each week. No loose trash - this includes brush not to exceed 4 foot bundled lengths, junk appliances (including refrigerators) and furniture. If you have additional questions, please contact City Hall.

Sometimes we have to estimate a meter reading. This happens when a meter is covered by a car, brush or limbs, ice, etc. When this happens, your water usage is estimated based on your past water use. Any overestimate or underestimate will be automatically corrected on your next bill. You can help us serve you better by keeping your meter uncovered and easy to reach.

Algae, temperature changes, excessive rain or lack thereof are all constituents that can the alter taste and smell of the water. These changes do not affect the safety of the water.
